June 22nd 2003
Summer is here! Although you’d never know it be looking or walking outside. It’s not just that’s it’s raining, but that it’s cool and raining. This weather sucks.
I just checked the five day forecast and it says that it’s not going to rain for the next 5 days. I’ll believe that when I see it. Not only that it’s also going to be near 90 for most of the week. Will wonders never cease?
The Yankee/Met game was rained out yesterday. So they are going to do a dual stadium day/night doubleheader next Saturday. They did that in 2000 and Roger Clemens beaned Mike Piazza in the nightcap. An incident that is still talked about today. Let’s cross our fingers that next week’s doubleheader goes on without incident.
I feel like I am having menstrual cramps, yet my period is over. How annoying is that? I wish I didn’t have to get my period. It’s not like I am going to get pregnant anytime soon. I have no plans to have children within the next 5 years so why do I have to bleed every month and feel disgusting? I think I am going to go back on the pill and skip the placebos. Just take the pills straight through and get rid of my period altogether. Hmmmm that would be cool. I could wear thongs all the time and not worry about panty lines or spending money on pads. Yeehaw. There’s a plan.
I am watching VH1’s 100 greatest songs of the last 25 years. Right now they are up to “Jack and Diane” by John Cougar. (Well that’s who he was when it came out) My mom loves that song, because her name is Diane. Duran Duran was at #80 with “Hungry Like the Wolf”. Aw yeah.
My mom found clothes I forgot I owned. Yay! More summer clothes and I didn’t have to go shopping.
Why is Drea De Matteo hosting this show? She sucks and she looks like she hasn’t slept in 30 years.
I can’t help but be happy about the rainy weekend. Certain people deserve to be stuck inside. Heh.
My my my my my woo! M-m-m-my sharona!
I am about to start a book called “Getting Over Jack Wagner”. Heh.
Tonight’s a big TV night. I even turned down Yankee/Met tickets at Shea because of tonight. Okay, the real reason I didn’t want to go tonight is because I didn’t want to freeze my ass off at Shea Stadium. It’s the final season premiere of “Sex and the City” and it’s the season finale of “Queer As Folk“.
It’s freezing in here!!! Jesus!
I need to eat.

Insomnia sucks.
I went out for drinks after work and drank too much too quickly and I paid for it.
I passed out about 12:15a and then suddenly woke up at 2:08a for no reason. And then I couldn’t fall asleep again. My body ached, the room was spinning (but only a little bit) and I was so thirsty. I can’t drink like I did when I was 21. Bummer.
I had a nice time for the most part. But someone did have to do something stupid to piss me off. Assclown.
When someone says something that’s meant to be a joke, there is a part of him or her that actually means it.
Roger Clemens almost pitched a no hitter last night. Now that would have been cool.
Today is Jason Giambi bobble head day. I already have one. I got it as a birthday present last year.
Have you ever wanted to smack the shit out of someone and kiss him or her at the same time? How confusing is that? In my case it’s a “him”. Assclown. Me, not him.
Okay I am in a Bee Gee mood. RIP Maurice.
“Love You Inside and Out” is one of my favorite songs.
“Love you inside and out, backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out.”
MOTHERFUCKER.
Oops. Sorry. I have no idea where that came from.
How could I forget about my hair? Well, it looks pretty damn good and for the money I spent on it, it better. Good lord.
I am a light golden brunette with blonde highlights. It looks really natural, except for my dark eyebrows. But the lighter hair color makes me look tanner. Tanner? Is that right? I guess I should listen to spell check. Heh.
I think I am probably going to pass out around 3 o’clock this afternoon.
Yippee!

Pet Peeve time: Cashiers who place the coins on top of your bills when they give you your change. I HATE THAT! I went to three establishments during my lunch hour today and 2 out of the three cashiers handed me my coins on top of my bills. I purposely dropped the coins at one place and the girl apologized to me. What is so hard about giving someone the coins and THEN handing them the bills?!
I hate my hormones. One of my friends at work told me something that made me cry. The news wouldn’t make a normal person cry but it made Stacey cry. Stupid Uterus.
And why the hell hasn’t this been made and placed into the consumer market???? I would definitely buy it. Heh.
I made an appointment for a cut and color today after work. I hope it turns out okay. I am due for a change.
I am beginning my intense workout schedule next week. Starting Monday I am going to start working out before work. I want to work out 3-4 days a week. I am preparing for my cousin’s wedding in September. I want to look buff for all the Navy men in Virginia Beach. Yeehaw!
I really need AOL instant messenger here.
My cats were being so adorable yesterday. They were curled up in a ball together on the hallway floor. Aw.
It seems Inwood residents celebrate the fourth of July early. I was hearing firecrackers all damn night.
Fuckers.
Okay I have work I need to do before my Account managers come back.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is on right now on HBO. Hayden Christensen is putting me to sleep every scene he is in. They couldn't have hired a better Anakin? I can't watch this at all.
I didn't like Phantom Menace either.
Ooooo Moulin Rouge is on though! Woo hoo!
And the Yankees are playing a day/night doubleheader today. So have something to watch at 1:05 this afternoon.
My bathroom is dripping right now. Isn't that great!?
It's the middle of June and the idiots in the neighborhood are already beginning to set off firecrackers. Yay.
And guess what? It's supposed to rain tomorrow! Isn't that shocking?!
No. It's not because it can't go more than 3 days in NY without raining.
Ugh.
Wow Jeff Weaver sucks ass, doesn't he?
Ooo amazing...he had 1st and 3rd with one out and only gave up one run.
Assclown.
Alfonso Soriano needs to run harder.
WOO HOO!! Giambi hit an opposite field home run! We're tied.
Oh that was hot, Robin Ventura was whispering something in Giambi's ear. Grrrrrr. Sorry.
Everytime I see two good looking guys together I picture them making out. It's annoying.
Heh.
WHAT THE FUCK? WEAVER BLOWS.
I am hungry but I don't want to have to go outside to get anything.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
What to do.
TAKE JEFF WEAVER OUT!!!!
WHY THE FUCK IS HE STILL IN THERE??? He's like a 12 year old everytime he gives up a fucking hit.
And now it's 6-1 because Weaver sucks. Ass. He SUCKS ASS. And If I hear him bitching about how he deserves to be in the rotation I will take a train to Yankee Stadium and beat his ass.
Boo him. That's right, because he SUCKS.
Jesus Christ.
Okay I am about to have a coronary. I have to calm down.

June 16th 2003
Oh thank God! I'm not pregnant!
Not that I had anything to worry about. If I were pregnant, you all would have something to worry about. Like armageddon. Ha!
My good deed of the day: I helped 3 lost Southern ladies find the ladies bathroom on the Concourse Level of Rockefeller Center.
Oh my God the Yes network is showing the first World Series game I ever attended. Game 1 of the 2000 Subway Series against the Mets. October 21, 2000. Aw yeah, Stacey has something to watch tonight. That was a great game.
I missed the 1999 games because the Yankees won all of their playoff series' the day before I was supposed to go. I was actually rooting for Roger Clemens to lose Game 4 against the Braves in 1999 so I could go the next night.
The poor New Jersey Nets, I feel bad for them. Sort of.
I am not surprised they lost the championship series against the Spurs because they really don't have a "shooter".
Aw Jack is cracking me up. He's so cute.
Ugh Michael Kay's annoying voice.
I wonder if I'll see myself. Yeah right. I was in row R that night. Holy shit Jose Vizcaino? HAHAHAHAHA!
I shouldn't laugh. He won that game for us. Wait no scratch that. Paul O'Neill won that game for us. The walk against Benitez.
Aw Paulie.
There's going to be a show on Fox tonight called "Anything For Love" and they showed a commercial where a guy doesn't trust his girlfriend so he sets her up to "cheat" on him. Assclown. Him, not her.
OH! How could I forget about this? They mentioned it on Howard Stern and my friend Tom at work sent an email around about it. Women are writing to Scott Peterson in jail? ARE THEY CRAZY? I am so ashamed to be a woman sometmes. I swear. Just when I thought Joe Millionaire ruined us as a gender this story has to come out. Good lord.
How can any sane person be sympathetic towards Scott Peterson? Seriously? He's guilty.
I don't give a shit about that innocent until proven guilty crap in this case. He so did it.
Animal.
Pet Peeve time: Stupid nicknames. As you know I am an internet message board person. I belong to a few of them. And you know that I like Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek. I HATE when young girls on the boards refer to him as "Joshie". UUUGGGHHH. That drives me insane. As if he'd pay attention to that.
Aw. Knobby. I miss Chuck Knoblauch.
I went to the drug store downstairs at work and my sole purpose was to buy feminine products. I ended up buying fat free cookies, microwave popcorn, granola bars, hot chocolate and razors. No pads. DUH.
I had to go after work to get them.
Heh.
A pregnant co-worker of mine called in sick because her feet were too swollen for her to come in. So my co-worker joked that his penis was swollen this morning and that he didn't want to come into work. Ass. He had to start it off with that? How could I top that?!
She's lucky. Because she is pregnant she gets away with wearing whatever she wants. There are like four pregnant women on the floor. It's contagious! But like I said earlier, I'm not pregnant so you're all safe.
If I were to go the other way, I would so want to be with Charlize Theron. She's hot.
I signed up for a new domain name. Get excited.
I'll let you know what it is soon.
There was something sports related I was going to rant about and I completely forgot what it was. Damn it. Old age SUCKS!
OH!!! The commercial on YES reminded me. Heh.
I think if an athlete is good enough to make the baseball Hall of Fame he should decide which hat he wears when he is inducted. Yes, Roger Clemens played longer for the Red Sox, BUT they got rid of him because they thought his career would be over. Two world series rings and a couple of Cy Youngs later, Mr. Clemens won his 300th game and recorded his 4000th strikeout on Friday night. He said this weekend that he wants to go in as a Yankee and that if the HOF insists on his going in as a Red Sock, he won't go to the induction ceremony. Good for you Rocket! Stick to your guns.
Mike Golic from ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike show is an assclown. He referred to Annika Soremstam as a girl on Friday's show. She is a woman, asshole.
OW CRAMPS!!!!
Hey it's Robin Ventura. How could I forget that he was a Met?! HAHAHAHA.
Jewel! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
Play your guitar again for the love of God. We have enough dance divas.
Damn it I can never catch Don Mattingly's Centerstage.
This game went to 12 innings. It was so nervewrecking being there.
Aw. The Yankees' last World Series title.
Okay my uterus hurts, I have to go take 4 Advil.
Work is still okay. And I'm still in a relatively good mood. Weird. I was even PMSing last week and I was ok. Hello? What's up with that?!?!

June 15th 2003
Pet peeve time. And I know I wrote about this almost two years ago when I attended Cal Ripken’s last game at Yankee Stadium but it bears repeating.
When you are attending any type of sporting event and someone in your row is getting up to go to the bathroom, you stand up and let them through. These idiots next to me today didn’t do that. I didn’t get up at all because I was actually feeling crappy and didn’t want to move. If I had gotten up at any point I would have said something. I HATE when people do that. It’s rude and ignorant. But they didn’t move when my brother got up to get food. Assclowns.
Assclown of the week award goes to Michael Kay, sportscaster extraordinaire for the NY Yankees. During Friday’s game Hideki Matsui hit a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning and Kay exclaimed, “ANOTHER DRAMATIC HOME RUN BY HIDEKI MATSUI AND THE YANKEES LEAD 2 to 1!!” Um, okay. It really wasn’t dramatic at all and it took the other guys in the booth a good 7-8 seconds before they could say anything. If it were a walk off home run I would see how using the word “dramatic” would be effective. But in Friday’s case it was not appropriate at all.
WEEEEEEEEEEEE! The Melrose Place True Hollywood Story!!!! WOO HOO!!!
I have something to watch until Queer comes on. And oh my god. The finale is next week. How depressing. It’s so unfair that Season 1 had 22 episodes, Season 2 had 20, and this season only had 14! It went by way too fast. Thank God I have Showtime on Demand so I can watch the episodes whenever the hell I want.
Ugh I just saw the commercial for “From Justin to Kelly” the movie made by the last year’s American Idol finalists. Oy Vey.
I guess my signed Roger Clemens ball’s value went up on Friday. I would never sell it but I would love to know how much it would be worth.
It’s amazing how there was hardly any sun out today and I still got a little red on my face. Stupid Irish skin.
And my uterus sucks right now. I’m late and extra bitchy.
As I was walking out the stadium today this girl next to me had soooo many tattoos. And she was a regular looking chick with biker chick type tattoos. They were huge colorful tattoos and they were on odd places on her body, the tops of her feet, her chest above her breasts and close to her collarbone and the front of her biceps. I couldn’t stop looking at her.
It was so good to see Tino today. Aw.
So wow the Yankees have won 4 in a row. That no hitter lit the fire under their asses. My prediction: The Yanks will be 7 games up on the Red Sox by August 1st.
Last year I made the same type of prediction and I was right. I guessed they’d be up by 5 on July 30th and I was exactly right.
Come on boys, don’t let me down.
Speaking of boys, my babies were so cute yesterday. We had a pretty bad thunderstorm in northern Manhattan in the afternoon and the poor cats were scared. Especially when it started hailing. Even I got freaked out.
Then about 15 minutes after the rain stopped a stupid ass teenager set off an M80 and scared the shit out of me (I think my heartbeat is finally back to normal).
I hate my neighborhood sometimes.
I watched the new Showtime original series, "Out of Order" and was freaked out by watching Eric Stoltz's character perform oral sex on a female character (not his wife). I was like, "Oh god I can't look!" There are some people I can't handle seeing in explicit sex scenes. He's one of them.
Man this Melrose Place ETHS is not juicy at all.
Oooo cookie cake time!!!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!
I know some people have been wondering about my reaction to the Yankees being no hit on Wednesday night. The last year they were no hit was 1958 and they won the World Series that year.
Jeff Weaver is an assclown. “I want to be in the rotation. WHAAAAAAAAA!” and what does he do? He gets shelled. Idiot.
Put up or shut up baby.
I just bought Cosmo and I was reading an article about 6 sizzling sex secrets (say that three times fast). They show a drawing of the positions and describe how to do them. Okay that article is like porn! I was blushing while reading it. And I was also majorly pissed off that I have no one to practice the positions with. Damn it! (Okay apparently these positions aren’t anything out of the ordinary because when I described them on the phone to my best friend she was like, “Oh yeah I like that.” And then, “Uh huh that one too.” HAHAHAHAHA.
I have been having strange dreams about my co-workers this past week. Some sexual, some just plain weird and some that were so real I thought I was really here.
I hate that. One of the sex dreams was really explicit and I don’t usually have explicit dreams. Every time a dream is about to become explicit something always wakes me up.
I woke up all freaked out by it and pissed off that it wasn’t really happening.
The rain needs to stop. I cannot take it anymore.
My poor babies were starving when I got home this morning. Aw. They were crying. I felt bad.
I’ll make it up to them later and buy them treats.
MY BABIES!
I had a dream that I cut my hair short and when I woke up I thought I had done it. Der.
I go back and forth from day to day. One day I want it short again, the next day I sit and wonder what I would look like with really long hair.
My dad was cracking me up this morning. He was telling me a story about his experience with the Social Security people. They wanted his actual birth certificate. They wanted him to send it to them. He said to the guy, “I’ve had this thing since 1941 do you really think I am going to send it to you guys?” And when they asked him for his army discharge papers he said, “No.” Heh. The guy on the other end of the phone was probably like, “Why me?!”
Hahahaha.
I am having trouble thinking of something to get for my dad for Father’s day.
Should I go the safe route and get him something golf related? Or should I get him a book? Decisions, decisions.
Maybe a golf related book!?
Heh.
I think we (my bro and I) will take him out for dinner.
I am passing pregnancy vibes towards my friend Melissa. Pregnant people surround me so I am sure it may rub off. GOD PLEASE HELP HER GET PREGNANT. I want a baby to play with!
Yes Stacey likes babies again AND I am PMSing. Wow. What the hell happened to me?
Okay I have to get back to work. And be a good employee.

It is gorgeous out and it sucks that I had to come back inside. Mother Nature is such a tease.
Okay Spike Lee needs to get a life. TNN is changing its name to Spike TV and Spike Lee is having a shit fit like he’s the only person with that name. Asswipe. I didn’t think of Spike Lee when I heard the name. I’m sure a lot of other people didn’t.
I hope he doesn’t win that lawsuit.
Howard Stern said that Michael J Fox should sue Fox News Channel and he also said that Bea Arthur is suing NBC, ABC and CBS.
Heh. Funny.
I want to go out tonight and drink a daiquiri at the Rink bar.
I need to get drunk.
I need to get drunk and hook up.
Yeah ok.
I hope my co-worker gets back here soon I am starving. I only ate soup for lunch yesterday and that was the last thing I had. Smart, huh?
I hate when I want a certain person to tell me I look good and he doesn’t. Aren’t girls so stupid sometimes? I feel like I am 16.
Everyone else has told me that I look good today and the person who usually does it hasn’t. Fucker.
Oh by the way, we still don’t know what’s going on here. Nice, huh?
No no notorious.
I am listening to Duran Duran’s greatest hits. Aw Yeah.
The YES network showed Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS between the Yankees and the Orioles. I was laughing at how young everyone was. Jeter was 22, Pettitte was 24, they both looked like babies. I was also cringing while listening to Michael Kay and John Sterling. Have they always been annoying?
It’s gotten to the point where I watch Yankee games on mute because I cannot stand Michael Kay. He’s an assclown.
I am in a good mood again today. What is up with that?!
Tino on Sunday! Woo hoo!
Please please tell me now, is there something I should know?
I took more pictures of my babies last night.
Aw.
Lunch is here! Yay! Chicken Parm hero.

Happy 28th birthday to my college roommate Stephanie. I hope it’s a good one!
One of my co-workers, who is a Met fan, had the nerve to say, “Hey did you see the end of the Yankee game? A guy got picked off at first to end the game!” So I replied with, “Hmmm and whose team was swept in a doubleheader yesterday and outscored 20-1?”
That shut him up.
How about them apples?!
So yeah my eyebrows were blistered this morning when I got out of the shower. OW.
I almost didn’t come into work because of it. But a co-worker of mine explained what happened. Hot wax + newly tanned skin = a bad reaction. She said her aunt does waxing her mom’s salon so she could tell by looking at me what happened. She said to put cold milk on my eyebrows. Do I have milk? I don’t drink it. Maybe my mom bought some when she was over.
I feel bad because of something I said to a co-worker as a joke but he didn’t seem too amused by it. I quickly changed the subject when I realized he wasn’t in a good mood. Oops.
I can’t believe I actually saw two men kissing on CBS last night. I know it was the Tony Awards but still…CBS? I figured their first gay kiss wouldn’t happen until at least 2015.
My former co-worker Cristin has her first baby this weekend. A girl she named Madison. She was in labor with her for 19 and ½ hours, pushed for an hour and a half and then had a C-section. I think I would have murdered someone if they did that to me.
Baby and mommy are doing well.
I had a dream last night that my friend Melissa was pregnant. Her and her husband are trying. And more on the baby front, my former account manager Garnette is pregnant with her first baby and I am going to be invited to the shower. I am so excited. I was thinking of her this weekend so it was funny that my coworker brought up the shower this morning.
Garnette is due on my original due date, September 17th. I was born August 26th. I couldn’t WAIT to come out. And now that I have lived almost 28 full years I realize I shouldn’t have been in that much of a hurry to come out.
I bought a book called “Sloppy Firsts” today. I was told to get it by a friend. It looks cute.
Damn Yankees!
Oooo I cannot wait until Sunday’s game. Tino will be back in Yankee Stadium. Woo hoo!
I hope he hits a HR to put the Cardinals ahead to win it.
And to the idiots who were booing Giambi at the last Yankee game I attended who were also saying that he sucks this year…just remember what I said…His average will be above .302 by September. Actually it may be above .302 by July if he keeps hitting the ball. And as I tried to explain to people he had eye trouble. It’s hard to see a fastball coming at you with crud in your eyes. Assclowns.
Don’t mess with my man damn it.
So like I said the other day. We have no idea what’s going on here. Who’s working with whom, what accounts we should be working on? This is why I get pissed off and have a negative attitude.
We are always the last to know.
CD recommendation: “Long Distance” by Ivy.
Book recommendation: “Mr. Maybe” by Jane Green

This is open letter to the members of the 34th Precinct in New York City
What the fuck do you do all day? Because you sure as hell don't police the area. The people around here do whatever the hell they want and there are never cops around anywhere.
I am sick and tired of hearing people drag racing on my block. DRAG RACING.
I am also sick and tired of teenagers hanging out on the corner until all hours of the night. Why can't you do what cops used to do years ago? Tap them with your night stick and get them off the street. Oh right they'll cry, "Police Brutality!" Well let me say this, I am all for Police Brutality if it means that I will get a full night's sleep.
There is NO excuse for the way this neighborhood is.
It's shitty.
Thanks to you and your lax style of policing.

Is it wrong for me to actually be looking forward to the shitty summer weather just so I don't have to hear about certain people and their summer houses? I hope it rains every single weekend this summer. That's right, EVERY SINGLE ONE.
No boating, no jetskiiing...just sitting around and being bored. HAHAHAHA!
Of course now that I wrote that I want that the summer will be beautiful. Because everytime I want something it never happens.
You're probably thinking, "Stace what you want isn't nice!" Yeah so? Even when I want nice things to happen they don't.
I figure I'd go the opposite way and want something bad. And hey I will be miserable too if it rains every weekend just not as miserable as others.
Why the fuck am I listening to Creed?! Ick.
Stupid music channel caught me off guard.
I was watching "About Last Night..." This morning and was laughing at Demi Moore's pre children, pre silicone breasts. She really didn't have much of a chest. I guess I never realized it when I was younger. I was paying too much attention to how hot Rob Lowe was.
Now that I am older I look at women and compare how they look naked to how I look naked. I hope to god I am not the only person who does that.

MATSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUI!
Thank God the idiots, er, Yankees won that game last night.
Okay I really don’t know enough to comment on the Sammy Sosa corked bat situation BUT I can comment on Pedro Martinez coming to his fellow countryman’s defense. IT’S NOT A RACIAL THING! I’m sure if they found cork in a white guy’s bat they would make a big deal out of it. Sammy Sosa is not someone the media usually treats badly at least not that I’ve seen or read.
So Pedro, get a grip.
And drink some Slim Fast. Damn his face is expanding.

I still have a slight tan. Mostly on my body, my face is pale again. Oh well.
Damn my stomach is really killing me. Good lord.
I actually had a conversation with the Senior VP this morning. He’s so soft spoken. I have no idea how he got anywhere in this business. Everyone else here has big mouths.
My co-worker Denis who may become my account manager next week is on his way to Chicago to see the Yankees play the Cubs. Hopefully he’ll bring them good luck. Wait even okay luck would help them.
I really have to clean my apartment. It’s annoying me. There’s too much clutter.
Oooo I burped and feel a little better. Thank goodness everyone else is out at lunch.
Heh.
I recovered some old rants from almost three years ago that I thought were lost forever when my computer crashed. I found them because someone posted an old link to my website via a web archive on their message board. So thank you for doing that.

Andy Pettitte sucks ass.
I had an interesting conversation with one of my co-workers this afternoon. He was talking about my website and he said that he didn't think that I really meant the things I say. He thinks that because I would never say them in person that I don't really mean them when I write them out.
This is why I write things on the site. I express myself better in writing. I would never be able to tell certain people that I wished his wife never became pregnant. I can't tell that same person that I wished he never kissed me and that I wished last summer never happened because it completely ruined our friendship. I can't tell people at work how stupid I think they are. I can't find Jennifer Lopez and yell at her for being a traitor. So I write it and post it here.
Don't mean what I write? I think not.
Memo to the Yankees...there are 9 innings in a baseball game. Idiots.
Aw man I am totally desperate for a man..I just saw Jim Carrey on Access Hollywood and thought, "Damn he looks hot!"

My future account manager insulted my current account manager today. Not a smart move, at all.
Okay I am already sick of Martha Stewart. Bitch.
My cat Jack says hi. He just jumped onto my lap and is watching me type.
Aw, boo boo. He's so cute.
I am soooo sick of rain. It's depressing me. I miss the sun.
I saw the entire Derek Jeter/George Steinbrenner Visa commercial and thought it was clever. Some people don't think so but who cares what they think.
I have one cat on my lap and the other one at my feet.
HBO is having a Curb Your Enthusiasm marathon on Monday. Woo hoo!
I can't wait to see the pictures we took in Puerto Rico. There's one I hope came out ok. It's of me going down the hotel slide in my bikini. I hope I don't look huge. In fact there are a few pictures of me in my bikini. If I look like crap I'll get the lighter ready. Just kidding. That will just be my movtivation to go on a diet.
Size 8 here I come again. I can do. I did it last year and at least this year my starting point is much less.
I just need to start going to the gym before work or something.
My new favorite quote: "How the hell do I know why there were Nazis? I can't even get the can opener to work." From Hannah and Her Sisters. That quote cracks me up. Woody Allen has some good one liners in his films.
"Fame" or "Girls Just Want to have Fun"
Well I am NOT watching Access Hollywood tomorrow. Fuck Bennifer Lofleck.
Ooo the Puerto Rican Day parade is this weekend. Maybe I'll go to that.
OOOOO how could I forget!? I had some dude ranting about non English speaking people on the train. He, of course, was sitting next to me. He asked me if I was Spanish. Uh there is no part of me that looks hispanic even with my darkest tan I don't look hispanic. And he was pissing me off because I was trying to listen to Justin Timberlake. Dumbass. Hello? Headphones!
Okay is it scary that before seeing the Mega Millions commercial that I knew Letterman's announcer was the voice of the dude?
I think so.
I made my choice, "Fame" it is.
Our man Alex's ear! Woo hoo!
He's so cute but he has to be gay. Why is he in the back damn it?!
Strong Island in da hiz-ouse.
Sorry. What the hell was that? Where did that come from?
Oh right I don't really mean what I write.
Aw man last week I was in Puerto Rico watching this. Booooooo!
I had a Devil Dog for dinner...that's not a good thing, right?
Oh whatever. I ate lunch. That's enough.
HAHAHAHA Shannen Doherty at 14!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
I gave in and turned "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" on.
"Fame! I'm gonna live forever! I'm gonna learn how to fly, high!"
Okay Stacey needs to kick some kitty kat butt.
I locked them in their room. They were trying to tear the kitchen apart.
I love Jason Giambi's back. GRRRRRR.
Could Frankie Muniz be any cuter in My Dog Skip? I think not.
Damn it! Giambi just missed a HR. Fucker.
And they're losing AGAIN. ASSCLOWNS.
Pop up. FUCKER.
I cannot take it.
Ooo thunderstorm!
Gotta go.

P.S. The NBC boys were rained out, yet again. I think they're still undefeated because the one game I did get to see, they won.
June 3rd 2003
The NBC boys are playing their first softball game of the year tonight and as usual it’s going to rain. It always rains. I haven’t been to an NBC softball game since 2000. Yeah it’s been a while.
Someone’s going around the office saying that the Yankees are going to trade Raul Mondesi and Sterling Hitchcock for Ken Griffey Jr. Yeah ok. There’s more of a chance of me playing in the outfield for the Yankees then pussy boy Ken “I don’t wanna play in New York! George Steinbrenner was mean to me” Griffey Jr. WE NEED PITCHING NOT AN OUTFIELDER WHO IS 10 YEARS PAST HIS PRIME! Thank you for listening.
Idiots. Why aren’t I a GM? One more time: WE NEED RELIEF PITCHING. And not a pitcher who is really 38 and not 32 like Contreras claims to be. Where’s El Duque? I want him back. Oh wait he’s 45.
Just say no to Ken Griffey Jr.
George Steinbrenner is crying about the interleague schedule and how unfair it is that the Yankees are playing the two best teams in the NL Central and the Red Sox are playing the two worst teams in the NL Central. Someone needs to up his medication. Did they know who was going to be playing well and who wasn’t going to be playing well when they made the schedule? No. Is it the Red Sox fault that the Yankees are limping into Cincinnati and Chicago? No. Get a grip Georgie boy.
I am looking forward to tonight. I really hope it doesn’t get rained out. Hey wait if it does, we’ll have more time to drink! Woo hoo!
Someone explain to me why every other department on this floor gets to have an intern for the summer and we don’t. And to add insult to injury, where are the other departments’ interns sitting all summer? In the sales assistants cubicles! That’s fucked up yo. I don’t understand what the hell is wrong with this place. No one steps up for us anymore. It’s chaos. And bullshit.
Stupid place.
Thank God I am not in a position of importance around here because I would be opening my big mouth all the time.
This department has been without a real leader for close to 12 months. Sure they hired people recently to fill the void left by our Executive VP and Senior VP who exited in July 2002 and August 2002 respectively BUT they haven’t done shit. They’re never here and when they are you wouldn’t know it. It’s ridiculous.
Things better turn around soon or more people will leave.
Okay enough about work crap.
I am craving Starbucks right now but I will be a good girl and not have anything.
WOO HOO!!! I just went to Yahoo sports and there’s a report that the Yankees are going to name Derek Jeter captain! The last Yankee captain was none other than Donnie Baseball. YAY! That makes me so happy.
Aw crap it’s after 2. I hate when lunch ends.
Stace
June 2nd 2003
So work isn’t that bad so far (knock on wood) THANK GOD!
Could the weather in NY be any crappier? Seriously. And they say the entire summer is going to suck like this.
What the fuck is up with Jewel’s song? I can’t handle this transformation from ‘Lillith Fair’ to ‘Dance hall queen’.
So I watched the entire Bad News Bear game yesterday, oh wait it was the Yankee game. Unfortunately there wasn’t much of a difference between my boys and the BNBs. Jesus. They were lucky to win that stupid game. In fact they deserved to lose it with the way they played. And poor Boston, dumbasses, you should be taking advantage of the Yankees playing like shit.
Man it was hard getting to sleep last night. Every little noise woke me up.
My babies were so happy to see me. They followed me around all night last night. Hee.
I need to plan another vacation soon. I want something else to look forward to. Right now my next scheduled days off aren’t until mid September. I have 4 more vacation days to work with. Maybe I’ll schedule a couple of 4 days weekends sometime down the road.
I was afraid on the trip down that the vacation was going to be horrible, first sign was when the flight attendant made the following announcement, “The in flight movie will be Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez.” I was like, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Ick. I didn’t really watch it. I wrote some stuff for my story, listened to my Queer As Folk soundtrack and tried to sleep but that didn’t work.
The vacation was great. I, as usual, got in my ‘leave me alone’ moods because I can’t handle too much togetherness but it was fine overall.
I didn’t think I’d like lying out in the sun but I did. I didn’t mind doing nothing.
What I didn’t like was how much I ate all week so I am going to cut back the next couple of weeks.
I feel like a heifer.
I may use my last tanning booth appointment tonight after work.
I visited my grandmother yesterday at the nursing home and one of the men there made me cry. He can’t walk without a walker but he loves when my mom dances for him. There’s a woman who visits her husband at the home who was a piano and vocal coach and she plays for the residents and their visitors. Anywho, my mom was dancing for this man Patrick and he said, “I would love to dance with you, but I can’t anymore.” Cue the waterworks. I am so emotional. Jeez. There’s a 97-year-old woman who dances to the music. DANCES. Not swaying or moving in her seat, dancing. Moving all around the room and even going up on her toes. SHE’S 97!!! I couldn’t believe it when my mom told me how old she was.
My poor grandma is out of it. The medication is making her lethargic BUT she was singing along every once in a while. It was cute.
Another woman at the home who is in the room across from my grandma is going to turn 99 on the day before I turn 29. She’s a hoot. She walks around like she is 50. It’s amazing.
My grandma has a new next door neighbor at the nursing home, Mr. Gonzalez. He likes me. He calls me pretty girl. Hee. There’s nothing like an 80 old man to boost your confidence.
Speaking of boosting my confidence, a guy struck up a conversation with me in the hotel hot tub and not only that but when he saw get out of the hot tub the sight of me in a bikini didn’t frighten him. Heh.
But then I discovered that he smoked. Ick.
Oh well. At least I know I am still attractive to the opposite sex.
It’s so funny how my hair completely changed in PR. I was a total frizz ball.
Now I am back to my normal, half curly, half straight hair. I think I want to cut it again but we’ll see.
I brought my stuffed Coqui into work. A Coqui is a tree frog that lives in Puerto Rico and the sound they make sounds like. “Co Quee” which is why they call them that. I never saw one but I heard them every night. I saw lizards and a couple of the biggest bugs I have ever seen in my entire life. Roaches Smoaches. Just kidding.
I woke at 3:30 this morning to a strange banging sound in my bedroom and it freaked me out because the cats were in the other bedroom. I decided to just stay in my bed and not investigate. I am such a wuss. It was probably nothing. In fact I got out of bed because I couldn’t fall back asleep and when I let my cats out of the other room they didn’t run into my room so it was probably nothing.
I hope.
I can’t believe how much my cats missed me. I figured they wouldn’t notice me being gone. My babies!
Um Jason Giambi has a new deodorant commercial…Ow. Seriously. I saw in PR and was like, “Um they need to show that shit again. RIGHT NOW.” Good lord. This is a message to his wife, “Dress your husband in tight blue shirts ALL THE TIME.” Thank you.
I can’t believe I actually missed my co-workers while I was gone. What the hell is wrong with me?!
I need another vacation.
On that note I am going to go and take a Sudafed. My allergies are KILLING me all of a sudden.

May 31st 2003
My vacation is officially over. I am in New York again. BOO!
I don’t wanna go to work on Monday!!
I have a slight tan, God help us all. But I am sure it will be gone by Monday so when I get to work it will look like I never went away.
It was a great vacation although by the end of it I did want to come home so I could be alone again. I am so used to being alone so too much togetherness can drive me crazy.
It was good to be away and to recharge but it sucks coming back to this crapass weather. WTF? It was raining when I left a week ago and it’s raining tonight.
Oh if you want a self esteem boost, go to Puerto Rico and sit on the beach for five minutes. There are women walking around in bikinis who are easily 250-300 pounds. It’s frightening.
And I still wouldn’t take my shorts off at the beach.
Man I am tired. I will write more tomorrow or Monday.

I want burning again last night…and I am not too bad. At least for now by the afternoon I may match my red blouse. Heh.
Okay a memo to Joe Torre: ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK?? CONTRERAS!? IN FENWAY???
I am not panicking because it’s only May 21st but I am a little pissed off. Stupid asses.
HA! Spell check tried to correct “asses” with “assess”
I arrived home last night to a freshly opened package of saltine crackers strewn across my hallway carpet…I was not a happy camper. Thank God I have a vacuum. And then within five minutes of cleaning up Jack did something adorable and I forgave him.
It’s just like having a boyfriend, well except we don’t make out or have sex (Thank God) or yell at each other etc.
My mom’s court date is today. She gets to testify about the K Mart flasher. HAHAHAHAHA!
Please God let this vacation be stress free. PLEASE!!!!
Ricky Martin performed outside today. I heard him from the office. It’s crappy out; there was no way I was going outside for it.
My grandma had to be taken to the hospital last night. My mom says she’s better today. (Let’s hope so)
Oh so apparently I was a cow last year because I had another person comment on how skinny I’ve gotten.
Last year at this time I was tipping the scales at 170 BUT I am almost 5’10” so it wasn’t really THAT noticeable to me. And now I am 145. Yeehaw. I would like to be 140 (which is near where I was in October) but I won’t push myself.
“Wow I didn’t even recognize you from behind! You’re wilting away to nothing!” Uh thanks.
I guess I should be happy that people think I am thin but it’s making me feel bad because I must have looked terrible last year.
Oh by the way the latest Bachelor and the chick he chose are moving in together so you don’t have to watch the stupid “update” show.
And he’ll be in NY tonight with her. I love having inside scoop. Even if it’s for a show I don’t watch.
I am sure that the Wright Brothers never envisioned planes being used as weapons to kill innocent people. It’s frightening.
Fucking radical freaks.
I have to get rid of 4 tickets for this Sunday’s Yankee game. It’ll be hard because the weather forecast is pretty shitty for the entire weekend. I feel bad that the 3-day weekend is going to be ruined for people.
Well, some people. There are some people who could be miserable all damn weekend and it would make me happy. Does that make me evil? No it’s makes me human.
Man the twins are itchy!!! Stupid sunburn!
The poor girls are probably really mad at me for exposing them. Heh.
DAMN IT!!!!
Okay I’m better now.
One of my coworkers is going to Vegas tomorrow! Her and her husband are going to drive from Vegas to Sedona, and then the Grand Canyon. How cool!
Have I ever told you guys how much I love the song “Overkill” by Men at Work? Just thought I’d share.
I HATE MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
STUPID
By the way yesterday was such a tease. The weather in NY has been sucking all spring. Yuck.
Wow I just went into the bathroom and took a look at myself in the mirror. My ass is shrinking! The bubble has a deflated a little bit. Woo hoo!
Ooooo we are having a meeting tomorrow! The big wigs are going to tell us how much we suck! Can’t wait. Looking forward to it. Well, not really.
Damn it’s cold in here today! I don’t understand these idiots. It’s not 90 outside! And because I am “sunburned” I am extra cold now. DARN IT!
Aw man it’s Wednesday and I can’t watch Dawson’s Creek. A couple of months ago I was relieved that it was going off the air. Now I am bummed because it won’t be on anymore.
I don’t know what I am going to do when Queer goes off in June and has a YEAR LONG hiatus. God help me.
Thank god for DVDs.
NO MORE STRESS! PLEASE!
I attempted to watch “Enough” with Jennifer Lopez. I really tried but it was unwatchable (that’s not even a word). It was so stupid and I’m sorry but the abusive husband was horribly miscast…Billy Campbell? Please.
KITTIES!!!
They were scratching at my door at 4:15. Yeah like I was going to get up and feed them at 4:15. PSHAW!

May 20th 2003
So I went tanning, er in my case burning last night so I will have some sort of color when I arrive in Puerto Rico. If not, I would be vampire white and that wouldn’t be good. Actually I am really only “burned” on my stomach and chest. (my poor boobs) oh well.
It is a beautiful day in New York. It’s sunny, 80 and breezy.
I’m so upset. My coworker Brian’s wife brought their son and I was out at lunch! They were looking for me too. insert sad face Cole is the one baby I won’t ever mind seeing. Aw. I hope they come back after lunch.
He is adorable. I have his picture hanging up in my cubicle.
I am listening to the 3rd Season Soundtrack for Queer As Folk. (You knew I’d get it the first day) I am dancing in my chair.
They actually have a remix of a Yoko Ono song that is actually pretty good. (I know, what am I saying!?)
I figured out why the Yankees keep losing when I go. I have been late to every game EXCEPT for the home opener (they won that game). So now I know that I can’t miss the first pitch ever again!
This week is going slow so far, of course. Why would it go fast?!
I saw my therapist for the first time since April 10th. I had a lot to tell her.
I have had my cats for a month. My babies!!!
They were cracking me up last night. They were watching the Yankee game with me last night.
I can’t watch it tonight, because I know I will get pissed off. There’s no way they can hit Pedro.
Oh well. They’ll be tied again.
People are walking by my desk and looking at me like, “Are we in a dance club now?!”
If you don’t like it stay away from my cubicle. Thank you and goodnight.
I miss Dawson’s Creek already. Thank God for TBS I can still get my Josh Jackson fix. Woo hoo! Season 3 baby, it’s all about the goo. (Fans of Dawson’s Creek will know what I am talking about)
Aw man my body is turning more and more pink. Heh.
STUPID IRISH SKIN!!
I went shopping yesterday and bought three bikinis. Go me! Of course, I will be wearing shorts over my ass but still I was so excited that the 10’s still fit me.
My belly is starting to bother me. It’s itchy. Stupid sunburn.
My arms aren’t burned. They have a nice pinkish, orangish color.
Avoidance is a GREAT thing by the way. It makes life easier.
I found a bunch of printouts from last September that actually more angry about a certain situation in my life. You know the fact that I was lied to. Asshole.
Blackmail only works on Soap Operas and in the movies right?
On that note I have to go and make labels. I want everything straightened out before I leave. I don’t want one person bitching about not being able to find anything while I am away.

I was able to watch the Dawson’s Creek finale yesterday. TBS showed it in the morning (I was home sick from work). I knew what was going to happen and I still cried. I am such a sap. Good lord.
8 days until Puerto Rico!
This big ass rainstorm the idiot weather people are predicting better happen because my head feels like it’s going to explode. I hate this weather. Where the hell is spring?
My formerly lazy eye is KILLING. Throbbing.
OW
I hate certain people in my life right now. They are annoying.
Oh I missed the party last night for that coworker. Oh well!
Bleh.
Oh my friend Andrea had her baby Tuesday night. They had a girl and named her Brianne. (I am not sure of the spelling) Aw. Baby! Her daughter Taylor is adorable. She’s 18 months old and has such a cute personality.
Yikes I couldn’t imagine having kids 18 months apart. I wouldn’t want to run around after a little kid while 8 months pregnant. Maybe that’s just me.
The Lakers are OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
I am so pissed I missed it.
I found out this morning on the train when I read the back of some guy’s Daily News. YEEHAW!!!! No more Kobe, no more Shaq, no more Phil Jackson! No more Jack Nicholson barking at the referees, no more Bennifer Lofleck! No more hearing the commentators marvel at Shaquille O’Neal (who’s 7’2”) dunking over people’s heads with ease!!! There is a God!
Speaking of Bennifer…someone please tell me this Casablanca remake thing is just a stupid Internet rumor. Please for the love of God.
My friend told me that the entertainment reporter on a local radio station calls J Lo. Jennifer Hopez. Heh.
And what is this shit about The Great Gatsby being remade with Lance Bass and one of the Hilton sisters?! First of all: What the fuck do the Hilton sisters do besides get their picture taken at every party? Do they do anything? Second of all: As much as I HATED The Great Gatsby and wanted to strangle Mia Farrow I would certainly protest a remake. What are they going to remake next? Gone with the Wind? West Side Story? A message to Hollywood: WRITE YOUR OWN MOVIES! There are still plenty of stories to be told.

Seven years ago tonight I was at Dwight Gooden’s no hitter. One of the best Yankee games I ever went to.
They better win tonight and Friday. I am going both nights.
Tonight is the end of an era. Dawson’s Creek is ending. I am sad about it. My Wednesday nights have either been about 90210 or Dawson’s Creek. Next season will be my first one without a Wednesday night show in almost a decade. (90210 originally started on Thursdays).
I will miss my weekly Joshua Jackson fixes. He has grown up to be a very handsome young man. Grrrr.
I knew the end was coming but it seems so weird to me. I think it will finally hit me in the fall.
Okay Clay from American Idol is a TOOL. I hope he doesn’t win. Cheese ball.
J. Ho was at the Telemundo upfront. GOOD. Hopefully that means her shit will never air on NBC again.
I am going to a meeting this afternoon to talk about a new computer system. I was told I was picked specifically because they thought I’d be a great person to provide feedback. So I don’t suck as badly as I thought.
(Of course something will happen later in the day to prove otherwise so I will savor this moment)
I even printed the email to keep in my personal file. (Thank you very much)
I have to go tanning before I leave for my vacation or I will be in the hotel room with sun poisoning. Heh.
Derek came back last night and did nothing. But that’s okay. He was a little anxious.
He better do something tonight for me.
Damn it. I think a staple fell into my keyboard. I am having trouble using the “enter” key.
Where the hell is the warm weather!? I cannot take this anymore. Spring has SUCKED.
Puerto Rico: 10 days!
I am so annoyed that I like Busta Rhymes’ song with Mariah Carey. Damn it.
There are rumors floating around that Season 4 of Queer As Folk won’t start airing until June of next year…that better be a stupid Internet rumor and not the truth. I cannot wait a WHOLE YEAR. I will be two months shy of...God I don’t even want to say it.

Some of you may have been wondering where the hell I have been (Hi Bren). I haven’t been able to get to my computer. My apartment is overrun with people. Okay overrun is exaggerating a tad. It’s just two people but since I am used to being alone 2 more people in my apartment feels like 20. And with my family, it sounds like 20.
Derek’s back tomorrow baby, aw yeah.
OH!!! Stacey has a rant. I know it’s been awhile since I have had something to bitch about.
The Los Angeles Lakers…watching them is like watching the Bulls from the early to mid 1990s. Shaquille O’Neal committed 2 fouls in the game? BULLSHIT. That man commits a foul every fucking time down court. And hello lane violation anyone? The idiot refs actually finally called one yesterday and I literally almost fell off my chair.
Tim Duncan is the MVP of the league and yet he has four fouls by the middle of the third quarter? Um, how does that work?
Fucking Lakers. I loathe them.
I was in hell last year in LA. We were at an ESPN Zone in Anaheim and it was game 7 of the Western Conference finals. Imagine me in the middle of 500 rabid Laker fans. Ugh.
I am such a pussy. I love this stupid Daniel Bedingfield song, “If You’re Not for Me”. It’s so cute. Oy.
If I hear that song “Clocks” one more time I am going to scream. It’s on ALL THE TIME on every fucking station. And now all of the premium cable stations are using it for promos.
Okay seriously my cats are so cute. Apparently they miss me when I am gone and wait for me by the front door. Aw my babies.
I burned the roof of my mouth while eating pizza last night. You’d think with 28 years of eating experience I wouldn’t have that problem.
Duh.
I don’t feel well. I haven’t felt right in about 3 days. I feel like I am about to get really sick and if I do I will be REALLY PISSED OFF. I do not want to be sick for my vacation. Countdown: 12 days!
Saturday Night Live is really going to suck after this season with Chris Kattan and Tracey Morgan leaving.
My dad is supposedly going to fix my bathroom some time soon. He decided to tear the tiles down and he never retiled it. I have been showering with plastic on the walls for 4 months.
I love my dad but he never finishes anything.
HAHAHA. I am listening to Denis Leary’s No Cure for Cancer. He is cracking me up.
Hmmm a coworker I am not particularly fond of is leaving…should I go to the goodbye party and act fake and pretend like I am going to miss her when in reality I felt like doing an Irish jig when I found out she was leaving two weeks ago?
She’s one of the tiger striped triplets…aw the clique is losing a member. Thank god for the rest of us.

May 3rd 2003
Wow just when I thought that yesterday couldn't get any worse, I was at home, getting ready to go into bed and cry myself to sleep I get the news that my great aunt passed away.
I've cried so much this past year my eyes are constantly red.
I hardly slept last night and my cats woke me up at 5:15. On a Saturday. I was crying from sadnees, mourning and frustration. Ugh.
And now I have to put my aunts up for a few days for the wake and funeral. I wanted to be alone to mope.
The freaky thing is that my great aunt predicted her death on Easter. I was saying to her that it was so cool that she was going to turn 90 the same year my grandma (her sister) was going to turn 95 and she said, "I'm definitely not making 90." And I got so mad at her last night because if I had had any idea that Easter would have been the last time I saw her I would have hugged her just a little longer and tighter.
Damn it I'm crying again.
I'm supposed to go to my parents house tonight but now I don't even think I want to do that.
At least I have a Yankee game to go to tomorrow. Hopefully that will cheer me up. (Who knows-everytime I think things can't get worse they do)
Work was awful yesterday, partly because I cleaned up my files a little too well and had NOTHING to do. So I was moping around the whole day dreading the inevitable which happened in the afternoon. My coworker had to bring me to the bathroom and splash water on my face and calm me down.
But now I feel better. Well, a little bit.
Unfortunately I am missing work on Tuesday because of a funeral but at least I'll be out of the office and away from everyone.
Boy I need this vacation even more now.
My friend Robb's oops was born on the 28th. She was 8 lbs and 12 oz!!! That is a big baby! Jesus. She's cute though even if her name is a tad too white trash sounding for my tastes. He sent pictures to me yesterday.
Wow both oops's turned out to be girls. Weird.
Serves them both right. Girls are more of a handful. Especially when they start liking pesky boys.
Okay my butt is vibrating, either we are having an earthquake or a train the size of 10 trains put together is passing through the Dyckman Street station.
What the hell is that?!?
Oh God I hope my aunt doesn't smoke in my apartment. The last time she was here it took me like a week to get the smell out. Oy.
It's wrong to wish colic on a baby right? Fine, I just want her to scream like a banshee for the first year of her life. The whole year, specifically between the hours of 1am-6am.
Okay that's mean. But I really don't fucking care.
It's amazing how many times I almost threw up yesterday. I literally dry heaved like 5 times.
I hate that feeling. I was kind of hoping that something would come up.
Oh well. On top of everything else it would be funny if I suddenly became bulimic.
Jason Giambi's slump is getting out of hand now. He is swinging at crap pitches everytime he's at bat. He usually has a better eye.
Sweetie, I don't want to have to boo you tomorrow. So hit like 3 HRs today to shut everyone up. Thanks.
Aw my cats are so cute. They can tell when I am upset and they sit on my lap and purr.
Okay so now they're cute. I wanted to kill them earlier.

Today it was 6:20. Soon I will have them trained to wait until 8 to bother me. Heh.
I really think I need glasses which pisses me off. I need to go to my doctor for my two year anniversary check up. The anniversary of my surgery is May 23rd.
Aw Jack is on my lap right now.
HOW CUTE!!!
He's looking at the screen and probably wondering, what the hell is she doing?
Stroke me stroke me STROKE! Sorry I flipped the "Power Rock" station on.
Heh.
I was wondering why tomorrow's date was so familiar to me, it's because its my coworker Brian's son's first birthday. Aw. He's a cutie. I have his picture on my desk.
I have to go out and get something for my coworker Bill's son. He was born in February and since I was extremely broke then I wanted to wait until I had more money so I could get him something cool.
Yankee related of course.
MATSUUUUUI!
They're playing Pump Up the Volume at Yankee Stadium right now. Heh. Hello 1987.
RAUUUUUUL!
Mondesi is kicking ass and taking numbers this season (so far).
Aw yeah.
Break it open boys. Come on.
People who sit close to the field are FUCKING RETARDED. Don't reach in to catch a ball that's in play you assclowns.
Ugh.
Ok I love this song. "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins.
It's the drummer in me.
And the keyboard player in me.
Christ I can sing and play two instruments. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!?
Something has to happen for me. People always say right place, right time.
This weekend is laundry weekend. I need to do it BADLY.
ISLANDS IN THE STREAM!!!!! YEEHAW! I love the 80's channel.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing a song written by the Bee Gees can it get much better than that? Well, yes but it's still cool.
23 days until Puerto Rico! AW. HELL. YEAH!!!
When this song was out (20 years ago) I didn't know the Bee Gees wrote it but listening to it now I can totally hear their influence.
I was crying at work again this afternoon. Oy. I can't take it anymore. I was never this sappy. I cry at the drop of a hat these days. I accidentally stapled something to the wrong order and was in hysterics. Ok I am exaggerating. But you get my point. It's ridiculous.
AW. John Denver. Sunshine on my Shoulders.
I love these music channels. I have heard songs tonight I forgot existed. I crack up when I remember the words.
I love this song!!!! The New Pollution by Beck.
Yankees won!!!

April 30th 2003
Today’s date seems familiar to me. Didn’t Ellen Degeneres come out on her show on this date?
If so, my useless information knowledge has reached an all time low. Jeez.
I took a whole roll of film of just my babies last night.
It’s sick.
They were shooting a scene for Sex and the City outside of Saks Fifth Avenue yesterday afternoon. One of my coworkers was able to get a couple of pictures.
I was in the elevator with Lorne Michaels last night as I was leaving to go home. How come whenever there is a group of people in the elevator with SNL’s creator everyone has to try and make a witty comment to see what his reaction is? Heh.
My coworker who is friends with the latest Bachelor saw him this morning on Caroline Rhea. She went to the taping. I have no interest in meeting him. I don’t watch the Bachelor.
Don’t you hate when you think you can get over someone and then they touch you in the slightest way and you feel a zap of electricity. STUPID HORMONES!
Christ.
I bought new hair gel especially for wavy/curly hair. It made my bangs a little too curly for my liking so I had to clip them up but the rest of my hair looks pretty good. I feel so girly today.
One of my female coworkers told me this morning that I have a great walk. I always thought I walked like a guy but something happens when I dress up, I suddenly walk like I am on a catwalk. It’s funny.
It’s very quiet around here this week. It’s weird and a little unnerving.
Okay what the fuck happened to my boys last night? Jesus.
A shutout?! WTF???
I will not accept that kind of shit anymore this season.
EPIGLOTTIS!
That’s an inside joke.
Okay I have to act like an employee and start doing my file labels.
Smell ya later.

Finally something to make Stacey happy.
April 28th 2003 8:15pm
I want Friday to not happen. I want to skip over it. I want to go straight to Saturday. And I certainly do not want to be at work on Friday. Ugh. There's no way I can escape it either. Everyone will be talking about it and I will have to put on a happy face while everyone gushes.
I have been dreading this day since September and it seems like it's taken years to get here.
Yeah I was just watching Father of the Bride II, not a good idea.
I really have to get a camera to take pictures of my boys.
OW! Damn cat just scratched me again! I have so many scratches on my right hand. Jesus.
I ate Rice Krispies for dinner. Healthy right?!
Oooo a 50th Anniversary Bloopers Special! YAY! Something to make me laugh. I need it.
I started crying again at work. Nothing work related, as usual. Something stupid, as usual.
UUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!
I have to go now. I need to get drunk. I have a bottle of wine that is calling my name.

April 28th 2003
It is gorgeous out today. I was outside for about fifteen minutes at lunch, because that’s all my vampire white skin could take and it was perfect.
I posted pictures from Vegas. Yeehaw!
It’s almost too nice out. I didn’t really want to come back in. And I think I may go out for a “smoking” break at around 3 and again at 4. Heh.
My boys got back together on Queer As Folk last night. It was a tad rushed. But the end scene was hot. Grrrr.
My poor cats were like, “Mommy why are you groaning?!”
Just kidding.
I had one in the bathroom with me while I was showering. He sat on the toilet. The other one was laying on the floor betweens my legs while I was drying off. Those poor cats. Hee.
Two of my friends have the same due date (at the end of May). One knows she’s having a girl, her second. The other one couldn’t see what she was having in either sonogram because the baby had its legs crossed both times. I would be so frustrated but I guess that’s the big guy’s way of saying that it is meant to be a surprise.
Thank God the first wave of baby having is coming soon so it can be over soon. And then I will have to deal with hearing about my sleep deprived friends and coworkers. You chose to have the baby, don’t come bitching to me. I promise I won’t bitch to you. I’ll just drive my husband insane.
Derek won’t have to deal with much since he will be on the road. HA!
Speaking of my boy Derek he’ll be back in a few weeks. Yay!
So all of the people who were out on Friday came back to the shocking news of the other manager’s departure. One of the girls was like, “Please tell me you’re joking.”
“Get some lovin, you want some, get some lovin, you need some…”
I cannot wait for the third Queer As Folk soundtrack to come out.
I went out on Friday and I had a great time. I danced my ass off, I drank my face off and I got some boy’s number. Of course I’ll never call him, one because he’s a Red Sox fan and two because I have no interest. I thought I’d humor him by taking his number.
He asked me for mine but I would never answer the phone ever again if I gave it to him.
Jesus I was out for 15 minutes and my shoulder is turning pink.
STUPID IRISH SKIN!!!
I really don’t understand how I can be 75% Mediterranean and 25% Celtic and the Celtic wins out. Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Yeah I will really have to wear a lead suit in Puerto Rico.
Why is today going sooooooooooo fooookin slooooooow? Ick.
Go T’Wolves! Beat the Lakers! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Come on, can someone please invent a mind eraser?
I need one. I need to block certain things out of my memory bank.
Thanks.
You can email me and I’ll tell you where to send it.
My mom was over at my place on Saturday night and she ended up staying over because she didn’t want to drive all the way home. Anywho, we watched Robin Williams Live on Broadway and I seriously thought that she was going to have an asthma attack from laughing so hard. I was laughing more at her reactions to it because I had already seen it.
“I want to feel you from the inside…”
Great lyric.
Please God let May go fast until the last week, make that week go really slowly. Thanks, love and kisses, Stace
Wow this SARS thing is out of hand. Scary.
Hmmmm is there a way I can fly out to Chicago just to slap the shit out of someone?!
Fuckers.

April 25th 2003
Holy shit. One of the managers resigned today. I am in shock. The whole office is in shock. Wow. He was one of the good guys.
Let’s talk about some happy news, One of my poems made the semi finals in an international poetry contest. I guess these means I can write. I am in shock.
Who knew?!
I still cannot believe he resigned. When he said goodbye to me he told me to be good. I smiled and said, “I’m always good.” I didn’t think he’s leaving would affect me. But it has. Then again I was on his team for close to two years.
Oh according to my mom it was a water bug not a cockroach. So Stacey slept a lot better last night. In fact I slept from about 9:45 until 3:30 straight through! I was so excited. I woke up for good at 6:15. My boy Henry woke me up.
I am supposed to go out tonight with some people from work. We are going to get our drink and dance on or whatever. Heh.
I am already dressed for the occasion.
The Yankees lost last night, thank God. I was getting a little worried.
The Red Sox also lost, 16-5 to the Rangers. Unfortunately Carl Everett is a big reason why the Rangers are scoring so many runs. Ick
And in hockey the Anaheim Mighty Ducks beat the Dallas Stars in 4-3 in five overtimes. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me this morning when I was looking at he ESPN ticker. Five?! Wow.
Wow time flies when you’re too fried to write.

April 24th 2003
So I have a new roommate. Well, ok he’s not my new roommate anymore since I killed him. I am talking about the biggest cockroach I have ever seen in my entire life. I was SOOOOOOOO grossed out. The cats were trying to eat it. I was screaming and jumping up and down on my bed. ICK.
I was really freaked out and I couldn’t sleep all night because I was afraid the cats would find another one and bring it up on the bed.
Besides that incident the cats are good. They are so cute. They both like to sleep on my lap when I am watching TV. Aw.
Holy shit! Stonin Love by Journey is on Q104. I forgot this song existed.
I hope I don’t come home to more roaches. The one last night was only the second one I’ve seen since I moved in and the first one was a baby one. Last night’s was the size of a VW bug. Seriously.
Maybe I’ll call the exterminator. I think the thing that freaked me out about it was that it was in my bedroom. Not the kitchen, which is where they usually are. ICK! I am so grossed out.
Nice for the Angels asshead of a pitcher to hit Giambi on the hand, he’s lucky it isn’t broken or I would have made his life hell when the Angels visit NY.
The Yankees are still on a tear. Alfonso Soriano is SCARY! That boy is amazing.
Okay so my coworker who has cats said that they would just eat the bug. If it were a mouse they would bring it to me. Oy vey. I hope that never happens.
It looks nice out today. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with people so I just got lunch and came right up and ate.
My coworker Joe was talking about how big the bugs are in Puerto Rico. Gross. I remember going to the Virgin Islands when I was 13 and getting freaked out by the little lizards running around.
I am totally grossed out right now. I won’t be able to ever go back to my apartment.
I received my first communion 21 years ago today.
Hey my friend Robb’s wife was due to give birth to their “oops” yesterday. I wonder what happened.
Hmmmmmm.
Once again he originally called it an “oops” not me.
I have two friends due at the end of May and a wife of a friend due in 5 weeks. He’s out in Oklahoma. They already have a three-year-old daughter.
Babies to left of me, babies to the right…here I am, stuck in the middle with no chance of having one EVER!!!!!
Bitter? Me? Nope. Not at all. I am perfectly fine with it.
At least I have my cats. That’s better than nothing. They love me.
Rob Thomas’s voice is so sexay.
Grrrrrrrr.
I saw highlights of Derek Jeter’s rehab stint down in Tampa on ESPN news. Yay! He’s almost back.
So is Mo.
Yeehaw!
How come I always tell people things I shouldn’t be telling them?
I need a muzzle.
I have some filing to do. I should do it now that I don’t have people here bothering me.

April 23rd 2003
Okay my cats are so cute. They have cute little personalities although they do need to calm down a bit. I want to buy a water bottle so I can spray them when they do something wrong.
Jack likes to jump up on tables. Henry does too but when I say, “NO!” Henry jumps off. Jack likes to sit there. Little brat. But so far, that’s the only problem. They go in their litter box. They haven’t ripped anything to shreds yet. (Knock on wood)
The Yankees are scaring me right now. They need to lose a game. (Did I just say that?!)
I need to cut someone out of my life. This person is toxic. They hurt me in some way almost every single day. You’re probably saying, “Stop talking to them.” I wish it were that simple.
I have to go out and get new litter for my new giant litter box. It’s one of those covered ones with the filter up top. Yeehaw. Jack and Henry will be so excited.
I love how they fight for my attention. Although Henry likes to make it seem like Jack is really beating him up when they play and he starts to meow really loudly. But Jack looks at me like, “I didn’t do anything!!” It’s so funny. My babies.
I downloaded a video from Queer As Folk’s third soundtrack. Damn my man looks hot for the 3 seconds he’s in it. The entire cast is in it.
My coworker bought Madonna’s CD yesterday. I borrowed it and listened to it. It’s pretty good. Maybe I’ll go out and buy it.
I have to wake up early tomorrow. My therapy appointment is at 7:20am. The cats like to wake me up early so I should have no problem getting there on time (let’s hope)
My coworker sent me a funny email poem this morning.
A Female Prayer…
Before I lay me down to sleep I pray for a man who's
not a creep.
One who's handsome, smart and strong
One who's loves to listen long
One who thinks before he speaks
When he says he'll call he won't wait weeks. I pray that he is gainfully
employed
When I spend his cash won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh, send me a man who'll make love to my mind
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
And as I kneel and pray by my bed
I look at the creep you sent me instead. Amen.
A Male Prayer...
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs
who owns a liquor store.
Amen.
How funny is that?
Hee.
I nearly punched some doofus out last night because he had the nerve to say that Derek Jeter wasn’t a good baseball player. Assclown. Of course, he was a Red Sox fan, and they know nothing about good baseball. They just know what it’s like to be on the outside looking in all the time.
Man my stomach is out of whack today. What did I eat that’s making me sick?!
Good lord.
I really need to go to the gym. I kinda miss it.
So the MTA lied about their money and actually have more money and don’t need to hike fares? Nice.
OH! How could I forget to mention Scott Peterson?! Yeah, a pool bleached his hair. Wow chlorine has an amazing affect on him because not only did it bleach the hair on his head it also bleached his eyebrows AND goatee!
My mom says they should just have Laci’s family go into a room with him and beat him to death.
Do you see who I take after?
My mom says that my dad offered to watch his grandsons. How funny is that?!
HAHAHA!
I want the warm weather here already. I want to be able to walk everywhere.
I also need to go shopping for warm weather clothes. I did find some stuff that I forgot I owned at my parent’s house. (Thank goodness) But I still need more.
H&M anyone!?
That’s all I can afford right now anyway.
